  • Tupac Shakur Sex Tape Surfaces

    TMZ
    has reportedly acquired
    a sex tape featuring a young Tupac Shakur that was apparently
    shot in 1991. According to the gossip site, Shakur is seen in the video
    receiving oral sex from a groupie while rapping and dancing along to one of his
    own unreleased songs. Shakur, who has a cocktail in one hand and a blunt in the
    other, also throws an arm around Money B from Digital Underground at one point,
    with no disruption in the action.

  • Radiohead Deny Free Show at Wall Street Protests

    Radiohead
    have shot down rumors that they were planning to perform at the Occupy
    Wall Street protests in Manhattan this afternoon. According to a tweet from the Wall Street Journal, the band's spokesperson has told them that "we can officially say it's not happening."

    According to the Occupy Wall Street site,
    the band were set to perform at Liberty Plaza at 4 p.m. this afternoon.
    As of yet it is unclear whether the band is backing out of actual
    plans, or if this was only wishful thinking on the part of protesters
    and fans shut out of the band's two sold-out performances at the Roseland Ballroom
    earlier this week. It's possible the group had intended to play in
    support of the loosely organized protest against the excesses of the
    financial industry, but canceled out of concern that they would be held
    liable if crowds got out of hand and people were injured.

  • Mick Jagger: I’m Hooked on Facebook

    In an interview with USA Today, Mick Jagger says that he has become hooked on social media to the point that it distracts him from making music.

    "I spend way too much time on the computer and not enough time playing the guitar," says the Rolling Stones
    frontman. "There's an underlying problem of this screen life taking
    over all of your life. It's easy to keep in touch with people, some of
    whom I wish I'd never kept in touch with. But there they are on
    Facebook! You can spend a lot of time on that when you should be doing
    something else."

    Jagger is also on Twitter, but says that he has other people tweeting for him.

  • Bloc Party: We Did Not Fire Our Singer

    The members of Bloc Party are insisting that they have not fired
    frontman Kele Okereke, despite recently heading into the studio without
    the singer. "Kele's been pretty busy doing solo stuff and it looks like
    he's going to be doing that a bit longer," guitarist Russell Lissack told the NME.
    "The other three of us wanted to meet up and make music. We were
    talking about just doing an instrumental thing, but now we might get a
    singer as well, to properly put some music out and play some shows."

    The
    band further clarified that they have not changed their lineup in a
    post to their website, which depicted the four members of the group as
    cartoon characters with the caption "See you soon." Okereke, who had speculated that he had been quietly fired from the band in a recent interview with the NME, responded with a post on his blog in which he wrote, "A big part of me is laughing HARD at all of this but another part of me is all like WTF?"

  • Lauryn Hill Sued by Former Stylist

    Lauryn Hill is being sued by a former stylist
    who claims that the singer breached their contract on her 2007 European
    tour by refusing to return items of clothing. According to a lawsuit
    filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Hill had agreed to pay a
    fixed weekly fee to Via Davia Vintage for an entire wardrobe of "high
    fashion items" for four weeks, but the singer only returned about a
    fourth of the collection after three months and held on to the most
    expensive items.

    This is the second lawsuit that has been filed this year against Hill
    regarding her behavior on her 2007 European tour. Jay Gore, a guitarist
    on the tour, filed a suit in August alleging that she had refused to pay him thousands of dollars in wages and had regularly berated the band and crew on the road.

  • Mick Jagger to Star as Media Mogul

    Mick Jagger may play a media mogul in Tabloid, a new film he is developing through his Jagged Films production company. The movie, which is being penned by A History of Violence
    screenwriter Josh Olson based on an idea by Jagger, will tell the story
    of a Rupert Murdoch-like mogul and a young journalist who is brought
    into the inner circle of his immoral media empire.

    Tabloid would be Jagger's first starring role in a movie since he appeared in The Man from Elysian Fields with Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies back in 2001. The Rolling Stones frontman has starred in a handful of pictures over the course of his career, most notably as a former rocker in the 1970 movie Performance.

  • Sly Stone Is Homeless in Los Angeles

    Troubled funk legend Sly Stone has been living out of a white van
    in Los Angeles following a long downward spiral of drug abuse and
    financial mismanagement. "I like my small camper," Stone told the New York Post. "I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving."

    Stone,
    68, is typically parked on a residential street in Crenshaw, a rough
    neighborhood in the city that is best known as the setting for Boyz N the Hood.
    A retired couple in the area provide the singer with food and a
    restroom, and their son serves as his assistant and driver. Despite his
    circumstances, Stone still works on music and records new material on a
    laptop computer. He recently released his first album in two decades, I'm Back - Friends & Family.

    who sold his music publishing rights to Michael Jackson in 1984 for a
